One of the true veterans and legends of the original wave of ''alternative''comedians, Hattie Hayridge is also recognized the world over for her role as Holly the computer in the hugely successful BBC comedy series, Red Dwarf. She has also starred as Lizzie Gillespie alongside Alan Davies in BBC 1's Jonathan Creek while other television appearances include stand-up shows from the seminal early stand-up shows like Friday Night Live, Have I Got News For You and even Celebrity Squares. A deceptively demurecomic, her timid appearance belies a stiletto sharp wit a true iron fist inside a velvet glove.
As one fellow comic said of her: ''Hattie reminds me of those James Bond sexy villains. Right when it looks like she's about to kiss you, she drops a tarantula down your pants''.
She has written material for everyone from Rory Bremner to Jasper Carrot and Lee Evans.
